Fowley Lane, High Hurstwood, Uckfield, East Sussex

Hermitage Farm is a stunning contemporary home of luxury accommodation, meticulously designed by our clients in conjunction with their architect. The property features luxury open plan living with beautiful bespoke fittings and stunning architectural features that flood the living spaces with natural light and afford delightful views over your own land and countryside. The house is a fully wired “smart home” with “fibre to the house” delivering ultra-fast gigabit internet. A phone app provides complete control over the underfloor heating, LED lighting, security, media playback and smoke detection. The 48 solar panels are combined with battery storage to ensure continuity of supply and optimal use of the solar power generation. The heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan, L-shaped sitting area, with sliding glass doors to its south and westfacing aspects and part-vaulted ceilings with further high-level windows. Wooden flooring runs between all three living spaces, and there are retractable sliding doors which can divide each room to create more private, intimate spaces in which to relax. Adjoining the family area is a peaceful study. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary wooden units, a central island, integrated appliances and a stainlesssteel range cooker. The principal bedroom with its luxury dressing room and large en suite bathroom is also on the ground floor, enjoying breath-taking views. The feature spiral staircase leads to the lower ground level where, in addition to the media room there are three further bedrooms, two of which are en suite. There is also a shower room and a gym with mirrored built-in storage.

The house is set in an elevated position within beautiful gardens, with far-reaching views extending across the surrounding landscape. At the entrance, gates open onto a gravel driveway and turning circle with plenty of parking space and access to the carport. The grounds include an outbuilding, which currently houses a professional recording studio, but could be used as office space or even converted into an annexe. The breathtaking landscaped gardens include extensive paved terracing, peaceful sunken terraces and a sunny, south and eastfacing patio for al fresco dining. There are also immaculate rolling lawns, yew hedging, colourful border beds, raised railway sleeper beds, a water feature and gravel walkways. In
addition there is an open meadow to the north and east of the house and garden, with an old stables block and tack room for garden storage and workshop space.

The property is in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has several everyday amenities, including a renowned local pub, a village hall and an outstanding- rated primary school. The A26 provides access towards favoured Tunbridge Wells and the historic county town of Lewes.
